Sharepoint Databases

Sharepoint stores everything in a database (except customised files)...
  • The database that ends with _Config_db: database stores the configuration for the whole SharePoint server / farm. Anything pertaining to the global configuration and set through the SharePoint Central Administration is stored in this database.
  • Finish _SITE database: stores all the contents of a specific portal. Contains files, web pages, websites, sites, and all things related to SharePoint infrastructure.
  • Finish _PROF database: stores all information about user profiles, but also holds the details of what information we collect on different user profiles.
  • Ending _SERV database: Stores data for searching, reporting, and indexing. It stores the gatherer log information as well as text indexes content that is crawled. In fact it can be easily controlled by the right mouse button on any of the databases and choosing Properties. In fact, this could be one way of knowing how much space each function or activity on your site, you are assuming.
